Death seldom calls from our midst one
more esteemed and beloved by family,
friends, and neighbors, or one whu will
be more missed in the immediate circle
of her influence. Gentle and unassum-
inf in manner, yet firm upon the side OF
truth and right, she has been a guiding
star in the Village among the noun
tains," where, sixteen years ago, she be-
came one of the pioneer settlels. The
little church, established through her
influence has lost one of It's staunchest
supporters, and the home that has been
so long retiring place for ministers
seems destitute of all its light and bright
ness. But to the invalid husband and
motherless children the stroke is heav-
lest Trey knew her best, and loved her
most, and to them the ashes of desola-
tion will long l'nger around the hearth
stone, of which her loving presence was
the Joy and light. But in this as in their
former bereavement, they know that "it
is wen," and the flights beyond the
river" will illunline their own approach
to the better Land.

4 SUGGESTION TO Our REAL EsTAr
DEALERS.
Would it not be well for all parties in
Asheville handling real estate, and those
having such they would sell, to pool
their issues, that is to say, unite in a
purpose to haye grand sale in this city
during January or February-each to
manage his own landS,iof course,-and
arrange with the railroad authorities for
special excursion rates, specially from
the Northwest, to enable and induce
people to come to the sale? Every piece
ofproperty for sale should be systemat-
ically tabulated, stating character and
purpose for Which it is best fitted
whether for a manufacturing, business or
residence site--and as fully describ-
ed may be convenient,
Sales could alternate be'ween the prop
critics of different agents as they do be-
tween tobacco warehouses. The excur-
sion tickets should run for thirty DAYS,
80 as to give parties who avail themselves
of it time. to look around, see tho city,
and investigate properties. Ifa united,
systematic effort is made, We believe
something could be done which would
result most handsomely to all concerned
and result in bringing to our city large
aud splendid addition to our population.
What say our friends? Let ali get to
gether and see what can be done in this
direction. If our people will just work
unitedly and Systematically vast deal
can be done to push the industrial growth.
and prosperity of our city aud section
Let us all 60 to work on such plans.
